Nightmare by Design

Come down, visit the circus

Take a break from the surface

In our twisted factory

You are the spare part we need

Gears grind, spring locks are unwound

Bloody belt spinning round, round

You don't know what we've been through

Awful fate we didn't choose

It's a blueprint for fear, a dream left rotting, rotting, rotting

There's a little of me in everybody

There's nowhere left to hide

The assembly line

Keeps on churning until we are one

Nightmare by design

Left here to rot in our cells

We re-invented ourselves

But before we can escape

Our mask could use an upgrade

Our souls, prisoned and fractured

Fuse now, dread manufactured

Don't hold it against us please

When you're part of the machine

It's a blueprint for fear, a dream left rotting, rotting, rotting

There's a little of me in everybody

There's nowhere left to hide

The assembly line

Keeps on churning until we are one

Nightmare by design

When you're part of the machine
